No, no I'm not.

See the stickied thread from Justine re hackers and go to the end. The Troll has just dumped a load of MN usernames and passwords on twitter.

I've reported it to Twitter anyway.

Oh, and use extra authentication methods where possible eg two-factor authentication. And everything akk said.

I tell you what, this is all shit that this has happened, especially trying to claim it's an inside job but it's brought out the best in MN in a way. All those lovely posters helping out the others by taking the time to check the list for them and giving advice to less tech savvy users.

Thank you to those doing all that. I'm not on Twitter and wasn't able to find the list so thank you for checking for me.

akkakk · 19/08/2015 12:25

Right - I have to go and do some work :)
if you are concerned about what is listed - do PM me and I will try and reply

list of all names & lots of comments advising on what you need to do / worry about is on this thread: www.mumsnet.com/Talk/_chat/2451977-Am-I-on-the-list

I have been away and not really checking in, but was alerted to what was going on by the email yesterday from MNHQ.

Could someone check this list and let me know if I am on there? Many thanks.

It's a complete pain in the arse, can't think how many sites I use thesame password for. Off to think of a new one and try to remember to change them all Angry

TheAussieProject · 19/08/2015 12:30

Mominatrix you're not

Highabove · 19/08/2015 12:42

Sorry I've not read the whole thread. Am I on the list?

Really can't remember all the places I use the password on. Gone from being annoyed to worried.

BoredAdminGirl · 19/08/2015 12:46

Can anyone tell me if I am on the list? I tried copying it into Word but cant use the find facility

Highabove · 19/08/2015 12:47

I had the email to say I am...

TrionicLettuce · 19/08/2015 12:53

BoredAdminGirl No, you're not.

TrionicLettuce · 19/08/2015 12:54

Highabove You are indeed on the list I'm afraid.

Highabove · 19/08/2015 12:58

I thought they wouldn't send emails to everyone Sad.

Have done gmail and ebay...

Thanks for checking

Highabove · 19/08/2015 12:59

Might as well name change too, Bye Bye!

wickedlazy · 19/08/2015 14:13

Don't forget to make your mm password different from others, in case they hack the login function again.

akkakk · 19/08/2015 14:55

for ease of use the list is here all on its own :)
